You can fake an accent just fine. I fake an Irish accent all the time. So much so that my girlfriend bet me I wouldn't walk into an Irish bar (I mean hardcore Irish Bar) and fake the accent the whole time. I took that bet and when I got in there I ordered a drink and the old guy next to me at the bar started asking if I was "from the old country." I played it off for three free beers

then left.

It's a great way to pick up chicks too

I have no shame.

So last night I was on Ebay looking at a new keyboard and mouse for the old computer and I finally decided to go all out and finally buy the Logitech MX900 mouse/keyboard combo. The one with bluetooth.

So I buy this and am feeling pretty good about myself until this morning I open up the paper and there it is in all it's glory. Front page of the buisness section, "Logitech releases the worlds first laser mouse today."

I couldn't have been three weeks or anything. Oh no it had to be 8 hours later. If only I had waited a few more hours..................

Yeah it's completely illiegal.

But when you connect at 12.3 kbs like me you don't worry about getting in trouble for download games off the internet. Especially sense I can't even download pictures from my emails

If you want a 150" screen that projector would have to be like 30 feet back from the wall.

Even if you can get it back that far the screen door effect would kill the whole picture. Your better off going for a 90" or smaller screen.

You can pick up the Infocus 4805 that looks really good. I had one before I upgraded to the 7200 (I had it for exactly three days, I'm a sucker for a good deal

). I have that hitting a 92" screen and it looks great.

Projectors all come down to the room they are in. If you can put it in a room that is all painted black, with black carpet and no light in it other than the projector the 4805 will look just as good the 7200 I have in my set up. I would bet money on it. I have a ton of light sources in the room I have the projector in so most of the time I use my Toshiba TV. It's more than enough for me.

I would like to upgrade to the 65" model though. But yeah just take Jay's advice and don't get into home theatre. You always want something more. ALWAYS!

57” 16:9 HD Toshiba Projection TV (57HX81) -or- Infocus 7200 (92" screen)

I'll tell you how to get a free one.

Ask around until someone wants you to build them a computer. Use their money to buy a kick ass graphics card and put in an ok one into their computer. You keep the good one because how will they know? Just make sure you fill that sucker up with tons of software for them.

It's the least you can do.

(I want to try this but haven't the guts or the heart for it personally)

"The Lovely Bones" was going to be directed by Steven Spielberg at one point and time. I don’t' know what happed to that but I was really happy to hear Peter Jackson was interested in it. It would be a great film to had to his filmography.

As for "The Hobbit" MGM holds the distribution rights to the film and New Line owns the rights to make the film into a movie. MGM is now for sale and it's up in the air between Sony and Warner Brothers as to who gets the company and its film library. If Warner gets it we might see "The Hobbit" sooner than thought.

I'm keeping my figures crossed that Warner gets it. The old cartoon version isn't good at all.

How much cheaper? Try free.

But yeah the 61.77 is giving me trouble. The last one I had played Farcry just fine. (Version 56.72)

I went back to that driver and Farcry plays again. Go figure.

You just have to hate computers sometimes.

That's the new Nividia card. It's also happens to be the only card that is backed by ID Software. So they more than likely gave a deal to Nividia to include it in the package. That is a good video card. To bad I just bought a new one six months ago. I'll wait another six months and i'm sure there will be another new card. But for right now there are only two better than that one.

Bush got a DUI in 1976. Do you know how drunk you had to be to get a DUI in 1976? They pretty much just dropped you off at home back then unless you were totally blitzed. It's not like today when you get busted for having half a beer in the last 20 minutes.

But no that doesn't make him a bad president. What makes him a bad president (OPINION) is his crappy choices with global relations, environmentalism (Big one), and our economy and nation debt.

That is all I'm going to say on the subject. Unless....................

It's hard to beileve this is the worst thread you've seen on this forum Faid. After all you've only been a member for a few weeks at most. I've seen some stupid threads on here and most of those are gone now.

I've played Painkiller and I really didn't care that much for it. Weird huh? The graphics were awsome and I like the idea of it but it was too much of the same the whole game. Nothing really changed. A bunch of guys came at you and I killed them and a new area opened with more guys. I didn't like it much, go figure. It was fun though. I'm stuck on it and have yet to beat it. but now that I have Doom 3 I won't get back to it for some time I think.

The video card is just fine it's the newest driver that is giving me problems. Oh well I'll update it again when the new one comes out. that will fix most of the problems. It always does. Until then i'm going back to the old one.

You have to remember that Bob Hopkins knew what Roger Rabbit was going to look like and be doing when it was all done. Lucas just told his actors that there will be a monster behind you. Most of the time they didn't even know what it was going to look like. I would be different if they had a picture of what is going to be going on with the blue screen. I can't imagine how hard that would be. Not that I’m defending Lucas I think he could do better as a director.

"There will be a vast army of something behind you. Maybe crab people but that doesn't matter we'll deal with that latter. You just have to look scared and slice at stuff with your laser sword. ACTION!" -George Lucas

And yeah that's not a real quote

I know if you play it on ultra high quality that is built for a 512 MB graphics card.

Farcry was fun. I never thought it would end though. I kept thinking I was close to the end when really I had like twenty more things to do. That kinda pissed me off. But a kick ass game.

Weird Side Note*
I updated my nividia driver and now farcry looks like crap. Everything is blue and I can't make anything out. Oh well at least I beat it aready. I would be Super Pissed if I hadn't yet.

On no I'm not about to be dragged into a political debate. Sorry but I'm not backing up my statement there. That is about as smart as skipping through a mine field.

I never should have brought it up
